2015
Adebayor Chris is most known in Uganda’s Lesbian Gay Transgender Bisexual and Intersex community as the 2015 winner of the Mr. Pride Contest. Having spent an afternoon with the recent graduate, I walked away with the impression that this young man was destined for greatness; his humility, love for service and selflessness all stood out as he talked to the Kuchu Times team about his plans for his tenure and life as a transgender man in Uganda.
Kuchu Times would like to thank everyone who has so graciously donated to the campaign aimed at raising funds for the publication of the second issue of Bombastic Magazine. The campaign which was intended to raise $5,000 went over and beyond and racked in $8, 296.
Of Nelson Mandela’s many wise sayings, one of my favorite is the old maxim: “Where you stand depends on where you sit.” Since we are also talking about sexuality, I would add that where you stand also depends on where (and how) you sleep. Hence the title of my presentation today: Standing, Sitting and Sleeping.
Call for your stories and articles to feature in the second edition of Bombastic Magazine.They can be written in any Language.Activists all over the continent should also contribute to this second Edition of #bombasticmagazine. Send too: [email protected] [email protected]. Deadline is 30 November.
To address issues that most affect the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender and Intersex community, Kuchu Times came up the idea for a bi-monthly talk show named The View.
The United Nations Security Council early last month heard the tragedies about how gay people live in constant fear of violence and death where they are living under authoritarian governments, militant groups and the Islamic State (ISIS).
The Mandela Washington Fellowship is conducted as a merit-based open competition. After the deadline, all eligible applications will be reviewed by a selection panel. Chosen semifinalists will be interviewed by the U.S. embassies or consulates in their home countries
Kuchu Times founder and human rights activist Kasha Jaqueline Nabagesera has today October 1st been awarded the Right Livelihood Award. The 34 year old activist was recognized for her work in the struggle for equality for Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) persons.
